Chapter 4- The Legend of Fuyu Dragon
Disclaimer: Rurouni Kenshin does not belong to me at all. There, short and easy to understand.
---At the court yard---
Yahiko: Where are the watermelons?
Kaoru running into the kitchen and out again, with a giant plate full of cut red watermelons
Kaoru: Coming!
Yahiko: Good! Where are the teas?
Kenshin running into the kitchen and out again, with a tray.
Yahiko: Where are the fishes??
Sanosuke running into the kitchen and out again, with the bbq fishes.
Ayumi irritated by the way Yahiko was ordering everyone, gritted on her teeth, her left eyebrow twitching furiously before she spoke up
Ayumi: Where is the Little BRAT??!!
Yahiko: Coming. Oh shit…
Yahiko cursed when he realized that Ayumi had tricked him. At this, Ayumi was smirking away. Seeing everyone and everything was settled, she began with her story.
Ayumi: It all began when I was only Eleven, Hajime was fifteen and we were back at home.
***************Flashback****************
Hajime: Give me back my Katana, you baka!
Hajime was chasing after Ayumi who had snatched his katana away from him while he was taking a break and was running away from him for dear life.
Ayumi: Iie Iie!! Not until you agree to duel with me!
Of course, Ayumi was younger, smaller, faster and swifter than Hajime was already ahead of him by 200m.
Hajime: The last time I dueled with you, you broke my right arm and several ribs.
Ayumi: I promised this time, you would not suffer any injuries
Ayumi stopped in front of the front gate before jumping up onto the roof, knowing that her brother would not be able to reach her there. She was looking down at the furious Hajime before she was interrupted by the sound of a katana being unsheathed from behind her. She turned around to face a masked figure with his katana unsheathed, Hajime saw both of them on the roof and shouted to Ayumi:
Hajime: Ayumi, Get down here now! And throw me my katana!
All of this went unheard by Ayumi who was focusing on the masked figure who turned to be ninjas.
Ninja: Be a good little girl and hand over the katana so that no harms would come to you.
Ayumi, who hated being called 'little', went into a rage of anger.
Ayumi: You know! I think you are right that no harm would come to me but you are wrong in another way as I am would be the harm that would come to you! Beside NOBODY CALLS ME 'LITTLE' AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!"
Ayumi unsheathed her brother's katana and for the first time, she went into 'Fuyu Dragon'. Her sea-green eyes turning icy-blue and her long black hair turning silvery-white. The Ninja got shocked at the transformation and took his guard but was defended by Ayumi with just one blow from the katana that she 'borrowed' from her brother. Seeing that a young girl had killed their leader, there were shouts of battle cries from the ninja from below. Ayumi looked down at all them from the roof, before jumping down and slaying all of the twenty skilled ninjas without getting a scratch. Hajime including the other family members rushed to see Ayumi in her 'Fuyu Dragon' and the twenty-one ninjas bodies (including the one on the roof) was on the ground, lying lifeless.
Hajime: Ayumi, Are you all right?
Hajime asked Ayumi while standing with his family and a safe distance from Ayumi, fearing that she would kill him. Ayumi snapped out from her 'Fuyu Dragon', turned to face her family while her mother rushed to hug her, causing Ayumi to drop the Katana. Slowly everyone began to surround around them.
Mum: Are you all right, Ayumi?
Ayumi: I am fine, sorry Hajime. I borrowed your katana and dirtied it.
Ayumi said tearfully at Hajime, who looked away and said
Hajime: That is okay as I could always clean it.
Ayumi smiled at her brother for being so understand and see look around her to see so many ninjas lying lifeless in pool of blood.
Ayumi: I…I did all this??
Everyone nodded his or her head.
Ayumi: Mother! What am I going to do? I killed so many people! I took so many lives!
Father: Ayumi, don't worry. Look on the brighter side. You helped to protect all of us by taking their lives. Which lives would you rather be taken away? Their lives or our lives?
Father put an arm around her.
Ayumi: Of course, Theirs!
Hajime: You know it was pretty cool! I meant that turning your hair silvery-white and your eyes icy-blue. How on earth did you do that?
Ayumi: I don't know. Father, why are they after us.
Father: Sorry, I can't tell you yet. See me in my study and I will explain it to both of you.
Both: Hai!
---In the Study---
Hajime:: smoking away:: : So why are they after us?
Ayumi ::Drinking Sake:: : Quick tell us, it is time for my kunai practice.
Father: Be patient. ::Looking for something in his messy drawer
Hajime: a Saito is never patient.
Father: All right, you win. :: stopped searching and looked at both of them ::
Hajime: So what is it?
Father: I think they are looking for the information that our family having been having for generations.
Ayumi: What is the information all about?
Father: I myself, have totally no idea what it is all about and where is it. Hajime, your mother told me that you want to join the Shinseigumi.
Hajime: Hai. If I have your permission, of course.
Ayumi: I want to join too!
Father: Hajime, you have my permission and as for you, Ayumi. You are not allowed!
Ayumi: But Dad!
Father: So when are you leaving?
Hajime: Tomorrow night.
Father: Go and pack your things. Ayumi, the Shinseigumi do not allow a female and a young one like you to be with them.
Hajime: I am off to my room.
Hajime stood up and left the study but waited outside the shoji to eavesdrop.
Ayumi: Please, dad? My skills are so much better than Hajime.
Hajime outside the shoji, thinking "Why you, Baka!"
Father: Ayumi, the revolution is not a game that you play with Hajime but it is a reality game in which the future of Japan is the result of this game.
Ayumi: I want to be part of this game!
Father: No, you can't and my word is final!
Ayumi: you will pay for this!
Ayumi got up and left the room, punching Hajime in stomach outside the shoji before she storm off.
****************End of Flashback*******************
Yahiko: How did your Dad paid for it?
Ayumi: By taking the Family's sacred Kodachis
Sano :: Laughing away:: I can't believe that you had actually punched him in the stomach, broke his right arm and several of his ribs.
Ayumi: Actually I broke quite a couple of his bones.
Kenshin: Oro..
Ayumi: Could I continue with the story?
Kaoru: Oh please do…

Author's note: Too bad Kaoru! You have to wait. I am so damn sorry for the extremely long update, I hoped you haven't forgotten about this story. Anyway, due the reviews and mails I got that Ayumi's full name should be Saito Ayumi and not Hajime Ayumi. So I decide that I should change it to Saito Ayumi. Sorry again for the confusion! I was confused by the English version as they put Hajime Saito and I, think that it was Hajime Saito, went to put it as Hajime Ayumi. Back then, I was new to Rurouni Kenshin and now I am sort of familiar. Thank you for reviewing and flaming and also reading this story. I am happy… whenever I get a review, never mind whether it is a flame or a compliment. Just came them coming!
